~ Born of the Earth ~
We were born from the earth even before we were born of our mothers.
Brought into the world of mankind in our innocence and within our first cry, we longed for the earth, our true north before we became consumed with the ways of man.
The sun beats down relentlessly upon us when we try to live apart from the place that we were meant for.
We shrivel within ourselves as would a lake that has lost the stream that fed it.
Creativity withers.
It is cut off from its very existence.
